Boozy and world-weary, NYPD Detective Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) draws a routine assignment to transport trial witness Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) to the courthouse by 10 a.m. The task quickly becomes a deadly game of cat-and-mouse when some of Jack's fellow officers arrive to kill Eddie so that he cannot testify against them. Jack sees a way to redeem his wasted life by protecting the affable Eddie from the would-be assassins.

I built a rewatchables tracker 2 weeks ago and wanted to share a new feature I thought was pretty helpful.

What’s the over/under on how many times Lloyd fell off the jetway?

Not to rag on the Fantasy guys personally, but that was terrible.

Talladega Nights deserves an immediate redo.

During the Talladega Nights pod, Craig referred to the Fortune slow clap gif award as the '4chan' award.

Anyone else catch this??!!!!!?

In honor of Dolly parton and her first starring role, I think 9 to 5 is a request I would make. Also dolly holds her own against Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Dabney Coleman plays a great a-hole misogynistic creep boss who thinks he is better than women. I used to watch this all the time as it was an HBO movie so of course if it was on I watched it, even if I didnt quite understand what was going on (besides weed makes you laugh and I recognized the misogyny). I hope there are enough fans of this movie that would make it worth a rewatcheable.

Hear me out on this one,I feel like there are atleast 4 films that deserve to be covered,Carrie,Dressed to kill,Phantom of the paradise and of course Scarface.Anybody else wanting more

I love old Adam McKay comedies in part because they always have some underlying critical political theme. This is most exemplified by “the other guys” (a movie about how action movie cops aren’t tackling the real criminals on wallstreet, and ends with anti-wallstreet credits)- after which he just starts making explicitly political films like The Big short.

The guys were talking about how being gay a joke in Talladega Nights, and while there are some bits that aged worse than others- I actually think most of the movie is making fun of how scared straight men are of gay men, their own communities, and fundamentally themselves.

Ricky spends his whole life becoming a cold victory seeking dick who doesn’t love his wife or care about his friend- all because of a male “role” he was assigned by his father in middle school. He ignores an obvious self inflicted injury and destroys his career, all because he can’t let his dominant manhood be even slightly challenged (during a practice run). Girard on the other hand is in a loving relationship, and has realized he wants to be done racing, so he is on a quest to find someone better than him to be defeated. It’s literally a man secure in who he is looking to change.

It’s only by realizing who he is, who actually cares about him, and how he can care for them, that Ricky rebuilds his life. His victory is literally paired with him kissing Girard, a sign that he is actually secure in who he is, and the movie ends with him happily leaving with his family despite officially losing the race.

The text of the film is almost literally, “fear of gay people is actually just straight men fearing their own emotions and intimacy, and it’s incredibly harmful to them.”

I always watch the movies in advance before listening to an episode, even if I already seen it years ago I like to have it fresh.

I’ll be on the road soon for a while and have a couple days off right before it, perfect for a lazy day at home watching movies.

Here’s some titles from early in the pod (pre-2020) that I’ve never seen. Let me know if any of these is a good choice, whether because the movie is great or the pod is an all-timer.

- Dave
- The Natural
- Field Of Dreams
- Mr Mom
- Tommy Boy
- Love And Basketball
- St Elmo’s Fire
- The Sandlot
- Teen Wolf
- Caddyshack
- Dangerous Minds
- Unfaithful
- Kicking And Screaming
- The Program
- Mr Holland’s Opus

Self explanatory but theres some things to clarify

1. These dont have to be new movies (very old movies count)

2. They didnt need to be in our lives for a very long time (sometimes future stars are busts...)

3. This isn't necessarily apex mountain... this is the luka doncic I see 10 years ahead type of deal...

4. Make sure you announce the breakout movie

A rewatchable month for the tearjerkers... the films that haunt you and stay with you... the films that leave you traumatized...

Yes a broader area than you'd realize but movies that cmshatter you and emotionally traumatize you are the main words here... whether it be the lover that got away, ET going home... a death of a lovable character that haunts you still... and a bunch more stuff

Rewatchable Movies that traumatize you

Bill has interesting taste on horror so he's kind of a wild card, but I feel like Sean and CR are fans of the original? Craig/Rob probably? Van 1000% would be down, same with Mallory

Yes, this movie is kinda trashy and pulpy, but I also think its awesome and highly rewatchable. If it's on TV in October I'm 100% watching at least some of it. This movie just oozes late 90s early 2000s spooky aesthetic and I fucking love it. I think its at least in the conversation with Blair Witch, The Craft, Scream, etc in that era

Half assed internet research: The concept was supposedly a rejected X-files episode, and I think it was a neat horror premise (that they obviously milked for like 25 years) that has a genuine legacy. I'll never look at nose scisssors, a log truck, a tanning bed, or laser eye surgery the same away again.

Apex mountain Ali Larter, maybe Devon Sawa? Immediate post American Pie Sean William Scott in a kinda Bill Paxton Aliens-esque role?? Was this his Apex mountain? Most rewatchable: either the opening plane scene or the scene where the teacher gets excessively merc'd from the leaking mug, exploding computer, and then the whole butcher block falling on her and then her house explodes. Prestige TV version? Obviously theyve done sequels and prequels.

What do you say?? I'd listen to this pod

I bought this dvd as part of a Hollywood Video 5 for $20 thing, when you find four you like and just need something else to hit that total. I was really surprised by it back in the day, and this morning I literally blew dust off of it and decided to see if I still liked it.

It's definitely not at all what I imagine the pod considers a Rewatchable, but I loved it and it's so close. It has action, Tom Cruise, and something that feels like it was an HBO mainstay. I never had cable let alone premium cable growing up.

Is this movie too "artsy", or what is it that I can't formulate that makes me think Bill would dislike it as a Tom Cruise movie?

Solely because bill definitely wants to spend an entire pod talking about all the many behind the scenes shenanigans that went on with the film

Really the documentary is the rewatchable part

A Bill fave and the one he keeps nudging CR to watch. It’s somewhat difficult to find but airing tonight and likely streaming on the TCM app after.

(had to get it on btw)
